Chapter 813: Maine Lobster

Di Wei continued: "His family is more than just a famous doctor. David Dao's life feels that Hollywood can be used to make movies. He fled from Vietnam to Stars and Stripes, and after he was admitted to medical school Become a doctor. During his medical career, he was reported to have sexually assaulted a male patient after taking drugs! Although he won the lawsuit and was finally acquitted, his medical license was revoked. As a result, ten years later, he was 67 years old. He was re-tested for his medical license."
Xiao Peng was completely stunned. Is this guy too fierce? You should know that the medical and legal education of Stars and Stripes is very different from that of China.
In China, medical education starts from undergraduate. After graduating from high school, you can directly apply for the medical major of the university. The school system is basically five years. After graduation, you will get a bachelor's degree in medicine. There is also an eight-year degree, which is called the undergraduate, master, and doctoral degree. After eight years of completion, the doctor of medicine can be obtained after passing the graduation thesis defense.
The medical school of Stars and Stripes does not admit undergraduates at all. Students who want to enter the medical school must graduate from a university or have the same degree to enter the medical school! Therefore, the first-year students of the Stars and Stripes National Medical College and the first-year students of the Huaxia Medical College are not on the same level at all.
If there are students here who hope to enter the medical school after graduating from the university, they will take some medical-related courses during the four years of university study. These courses are collectively referred to as ‘pre-medical courses’. The admission standards for the medical school here are extremely strict. In addition to taking pre-medical courses and having a bachelor’s degree, you must also take the national exam. This is not enough. You must also have the recommendation information of the university teacher, the student’s own admission application and the school Participate in various social welfare activities, records of community activities, etc. Of the students who apply for medical school every year, only one-third can pass.
After admitted to the medical school, the tuition is usually very expensive for four years, and it is almost impossible to have a scholarship. The tuition plus living expenses cost more than 50,000 US dollars a year. During this period, you must pass the first stage of the National Medical License Examination. In the second stage, if you cannot become a doctor immediately after you get your degree, you must be an intern for several years. At the same time, you must participate in the third stage of the National Medical Licensing Examination. Only after passing the exam can you become an official doctor!
However, it is undoubtedly more difficult to take a medical license in the Xingtiao National Examination. If nothing else, just talking about professional vocabulary is enough for a person to drink two pots. The pass rate of the three-stage examination is extremely low. David Dao obtained his medical license again at the age of 67, which is probably the highest age record for obtaining a medical license in the Stars and Stripes.
The internship period after graduation is also different. If you are a family doctor, three years of internship is almost enough, while the surgeon needs more than five years. If you are a specialist, the internship period can last for more than eight years! At that time, he could formally practice medicine. This is the reason why doctors have a high social status in the Stars and Stripes. They are not really elites. If they want to be doctors in the Stars and Stripes, that is almost a dream!
"Do you think it's over?" Di Wei said, "It's more than that. That David Dao is still a top-notch poker master. He has participated in the Poker World League eight times and won two million US dollars in prize money! It is said that he once played Las Vegas casinos won more than seven million dollars."
Xiao Peng blew his whistle: "Star United Airlines really hit an iron plate."
Di Wei smiled and said: "Isn't it? He formed a lawyers team to sue Star United Airlines. One of the lawyers, Thomas Demuto, is David Dao’s family lawyer, who was ranked among the top ten litigation lawyers in the United States. , The amount of compensation that has been reached exceeds one billion US dollars! Another lawyer is the TOP5 aviation law lawyer in the United States. These two lawyers can be considered to toss Star United Airlines enough! During that time, the stock price of Star United Airlines fell. More than 200 million U.S. dollars, Star United Airlines privately compensated David Road a huge sum of money. According to insiders, the compensation amount may reach hundreds of millions of dollars."
"Wow. This makes money much faster than me!" Xiao Peng exclaimed.
After hearing this, Di Wei laughed and said: "Mr. Xiao, you will have to take more flights with Star Alliance in the future. They often oversell air tickets. Every time they oversell air tickets and people need to get off the plane, they will give priority to Asians. Last year There are more than half a million people in Stars and Stripes who were forced to disembark because of this problem. This situation is simply too common here. If one day you really want to get off the plane, you should come here again to ensure that they will pay more. , You know, you are Lord Samuel, defeating the existence of Mayweather."
"Oh? You all know?" Xiao Peng smiled.
"Of course, no one in the Chinese circle of Stars and Stripes knows about you now, they all say that you are the new generation of Bruce Lee, Ada Ada!" Di Wei yelled exaggeratedly while driving.
"Drive well!" Xiao Peng looked at the parade outside the car window and asked curiously: "Since the Star United Airlines has lost money, why are so many people still marching here? Want to divide it? Just because the relevant reports have been deleted? It has nothing to do with them, right?"
Di Wei held the steering wheel in one hand, and stretched out three fingers in the other hand: "First, these people have been bullied by Star United, so they took the opportunity to vent their disgust and disgusted Star United. Second, I saw David. -Dao gets so much compensation, they also want to see if they can get some points, they all want to make extra money for the pen; third, and the most important point-anyway, they are idle, it is not bad to come and pass the time ."
Xiao Peng was completely speechless when he heard the third answer.
Big brothers and sisters from Star Stripe Nation, you are so idle...
"Mr. Xiao, we have arrived at our destination! When you get to Boston, you can't stop eating lobster, and you can't stop eating lobster in Boston." After Di Wei stopped the car, he pointed to the old house at the intersection of Lianhe Avenue and Xiao Peng introduced: "Although the lobster set menu of'LegalSeaFood' is also very famous, it is a chain restaurant everywhere. The taste of lobster is not much worse, and it is not much better. It is that taste. And this'Union Oyster' "It's not the same. This is the first restaurant in the whole Star-Tangled Nation. It has been in operation since 1826 and the taste of Boston lobster here is the best! Now this is one of Boston's landmarks."
Xiao Peng also had complaints about Boston lobster. When he participated in the Shanghai International Fisheries Expo, he wanted to buy a batch of Boston lobster lobster fry from Wharton Fisheries, but Nelson Wharton's brother Kanter Wharton refused directly. Xiao Peng was not so angry about this business, and he made Wharton Fisheries a good deal, but then Qianliyan got European blue lobster shrimp, which also made up for Qianliyan's lack of crayfish.
Yes, even though the name of Boston lobster contains the word lobster, from a biological point of view, Boston lobster and European blue dragon are both crayfish, which look like crayfish, but are bigger. And the golden lobster from Qianliyan and the Australian lobster from Australia are lobsters-real lobsters don't have two big tongs.
However, because Boston lobster is much cheaper than Australian lobster, under normal circumstances, the price of Boston lobster is less than one-third of Australian lobster. Therefore, it is loved by Huaxia people. It is no exaggeration to say that the current crawfish industry in the Maple Leaf Country and the crawfish industry in the Stars and Stripes country are supported by China. Last year, the export value of Nova Scotia, the country of Maple Leaf, to China was as high as 150 million US dollars. Every day, several cargo flights transport lobsters from Maple Leaf Country and Boston directly to China. Who makes Chinese people like to eat this stuff?
The reason why Boston lobster is cheap is that the production is large, but because there are no seasonal fishing restrictions. Australian lobster has seasonal restrictions and is more delicious than Boston lobster, so the price is expensive.
What’s more interesting is that just like there is no Yangzhou fried rice in Yangzhou in China, Boston lobster is not actually produced in Boston. There are such lobsters in the vast icy waters of North America, and Maple Leaf countries also have them. Maple Leaf Country is called "Maple Leaf Country Lobster", but in Star Stripe Country, it is not called Star Stripe Country Lobster, but Maine Lobster, because Maine is the rich place of this kind of lobster.
Boston is the seafood distribution center of the Stars and Stripes, and most of these Maine lobsters are traded here. Therefore, the Chinese who are interested in the sea will call them "Boston Lobsters" by convention. Of course, if you tell the Stars and Stripes that you want to buy Boston lobsters , Generally no one will bird you, say to buy Maine lobster.
Xiao Peng listened to Di Wei’s introduction, but he became interested. He followed Wen Jie to this "United Oyster". Before entering, Xiao Peng first saw a familiar bronze plaque on the wall, on Route 66. There is also such a piece at the entrance of the Wigwam Hotel, which is a'National Historic Landmark' plaque issued by the government of Stars and Stripes.
Well, it’s not surprising that the first restaurant in the country has such a plaque.
After entering the restaurant, it is not difficult to see that it only sells seafood. What kind of seafood models are everywhere. Everything here is antique, it looks the same as it was more than a hundred years ago. The walls are full of photos of celebrities who have been hosted here. From politicians to celebrities, all of them can leave photos of famous people.
Di Wei was very happy: "Brother Peng, we are lucky today."
Xiao Peng wondered what he meant. Di Wei took him to a circular table in the middle of the restaurant, which looked like a bar counter. An elderly local chef with a kind and honest face was standing in the middle of the table. Boxes of fresh oysters, as well as other shellfish ingredients, his task is to process these seafood on-site and hand them to customers.
Sitting in front of the bar to eat, you can watch the old chef's every move, whether it is his cooking skills or the freshness of the ingredients are displayed in front of everyone, so it is indeed a good position to sit here and eat.
